He suddenly ran to the bedside drawer and rummaged around, finally finding a few DVDs, which he put into the TV to watch.

The discs contained videos he had recorded himself before, because he was too afraid to watch them alone. He would always wake up and turn off all the cameras. I hadn't noticed before and thought the blankets weren't in place properly, but now I realize that the blankets in every video are bulging, as if there's someone else sleeping inside.

"I...I...What happened to me?" He looked confused.

"I want to know too." Li Wenyang hugged his arms tightly, and suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet.

No wonder some people shun Xu Hongrui, preferring to move rather than be his neighbor; now I understand.

He is indeed very strange.

"Well, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now." Seeing Xu Hongrui get up, he quickly added, "No need to see me off."

Xu Hongrui stopped in his tracks, his expression somewhat pitiful.

It's really heartbreaking. Doing something like this already makes you feel guilty, especially since Xu Hongrui didn't have any designs on him, didn't want to get him into bed, and hadn't done anything to wrong him. He's still as innocent as a child.

Every day when Li Wenyang was with him, his heart felt like it was being roasted by fire, he was in great agony, and he always felt like he was letting him down.

If Xu Hongrui had wronged him in the past, or coveted his body, then he could have easily swindled money from him without hesitation, which would truly be a moral dilemma.

That's it, I just can't bring myself to do it.

Li Wenyang turned and left, then went back and explained the situation to his master and mistress.

His master solemnly put down his chopsticks, "Yu'er, we raise soldiers for a thousand days to use them for one. If you can't even handle a mentally ill person, what use are you to us?"

Yu'er is his current temporary name.

Li Wenyang froze. He seemed to understand that his master's talk of a family of three was based on the premise that he was useful. If he was not useful, then he was not a family.

"I understand." He forced a smile. "I'll handle it."

Compared to being afraid, he was probably more afraid of being abandoned, so he was always obedient to his master and mistress and never refused them. This was the first time, but also the last.

Xu Hongrui's situation is special after all, and there can't possibly be anyone like him.

After finishing his meal, Li Wenyang ran to the tree in the backyard and reached his hand out through the dog hole.

"I'm sorry, I was startled just now. But thinking about it carefully, it might be a problem with the camera. However, it was definitely my fault for running away suddenly. If you forgive me, please put your hand on my arm." Li Wenyang stretched out his hand, but after a while there was no response.

He shook his head with amusement. "I'm nobody, how could anyone possibly wait for me forever?"

A hand suddenly appeared on his head, and Xu Hongrui's voice was slightly shy, "I forgive you."

Li Wenyang smiled slightly. "Why don't you come sleep at my place? Maybe it's because of the environment."

"Um."

"By the way, did you notice anything unusual yesterday?"

"No, I slept very well last night and even had a dream."

"What did you dream about?" Li Wenyang asked jokingly.

"I dreamt about...you." Xu Hongrui's voice was even lower.

What did you dream about me about?

"I dreamt that I was making clothes for you."

"That doesn't sound very reliable," Li Wenyang thought, recalling the needle that had been used to prick him.

"No, not at all." (////) "It's very reliable."

"Then let go of my hand first, then climb over the wall and I'll catch you." Li Wenyang shook his wrist, which was being tightly gripped.

"Okay, you have to catch me."

"Um."

For Li Wenyang, climbing over walls was a common occurrence, but for Xu Hongrui it was his first time. He was a little unfamiliar with it, so he stepped onto the ladder he had just arrived on and climbed up crookedly.

"Alright, you can jump now," Li Wenyang directed from below.

"Mmm." Xu Hongrui trusted him completely and jumped down with his eyes closed.

"ah!!!"

A scream rang out, not from Xu Hongrui, but from Li Wenyang: "You sat on my chest!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Xu Hongrui quickly got up. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"I didn't say you did it on purpose." The two made up easily and were inseparable again, just like before.

They shared gifts, played games together, frantically grabbed holiday red envelopes, and competed to see who had the best equipment. It's worth mentioning that Xu Hongrui actually learned needlework and started making clothes.

"Take it easy, don't poke me with two more needles."

"No, no, I'm experienced this time... Oh, did I poke you again?" Xu Hongrui hurriedly removed the needle.

Li Wenyang's face turned green. "Didn't you say you had experience?"

Xu Hongrui looked guilty. "I'm still an apprentice, so please understand."

To make clothes, you first need to take the measurements, then cut the pieces into pieces, and finally use a needle with something on one end to fix them on the mannequin from the inside out to ensure a good fit.

Xu Hongrui didn't buy any plastic mannequins, so Li Wenyang had to be his model, and he's already stabbed him countless times.

"Never mind, I'm thick-skinned."

The two never talked about anything strange again. They acted like normal friends, keeping some things to themselves. Fortunately, Xu Hongrui no longer felt like anyone was watching him after that day.

Li Wenyang, who slept with him, also seemed to be developing in a normal direction, but only he knew that his master and mistress were urging him every day.

"I think it's about time. That kid trusts you a lot."

"Yu'er, what are you waiting for? We don't have much time left."

The virtual trading platform his master and mistress created is about to collapse, and if they don't hurry, it will be discovered.
